St. Martin de Porres Quotes

(St. Martin de Porres - found here)

“Compassion is preferable to cleanliness; with a bit of soap, I can clean my bed, but think of the flood of tears I would require to clean from my soul the stain that harshness against this unfortunate would leave.”

“Everything, even sweeping, scraping vegetables, weeding a garden and waiting on the sick could be a prayer, if it were offered to God.”

“Do not complain, that shows discontent with the will of God in the present moment. That is also proof of impatience.”

~St. Martin de Porres
